Hi list,
about a week ago i got a ris 2.0 and have spent some time to write some
communication routines for infrared communication between the rcx and my
palms. I've so far been very successful and a first test software is
available at http://www.tm.uka.de/~harbaum/Lego.zip
This software is open source and i will make it into a shared library for
palmos to be available under the name pbrick (palm brick) at
pbrick.sourceforge.net. Currently the software allows to transmit commands to
the rcx (this has already been done, i know) plus it receives the reply
messages from the rcx (this is IMHO new). This allows for some clever palm
equipped lego robots using the rcx as an io controller for the palm.
The software has been tested on a IIIe (at 16 Mhz and overclocked up to 32
Mhz) and on a M505. It hasn't been tested on palms equipped with the old
dragonball cpu like the first palm iii models. Any feedback from this kind of
machine is very welcome. I'll also have a look at rcxlib and see whether it
makes sense to support that software interface. Has anyone really been using
this lib? It look more complex than i think is necessary.
What i am still missing is a description of the commands, the lego remote
control is using, since i'd like to add a remote control like software to my
package. Does anyone here have infos about the commands, the remote is
sending? And is this device receiving any data from the rcx? Probably not.
Have fun,
Till
